Odds poker pot
odds in poker. A very important part of a
successful poker game is its mathematical
component. Good players are distinguished from
all the others - they are able to use their
chances and thus they win. People without such
knowledge simply puts money in the bank, based
on some of their internal feelings. Professional
sets only when necessary, and only as long as
necessary. To make the correct poker must be
able to calculate pot odds and winning chances.
It is a comparison of these two numbers gives an
answer to the question: "What should I do next?
Fold or call a bet opponent? How to bet? "Learn
to calculate odds in poker, you will be able to
decide this question with confidence, knowing
that you're right. Before we proceed directly to
the calculation of odds, it is worth saying a
few words on the common system of calculation.
It is not complicated, but it is better to start
with a basic example. Imagine that you are one
of the two players, and you do not play poker,
and coin tosses. You put an eagle, your opponent
tails.
.
Now imagine that you and your opponent throws a
standard cube with numbers from 1 to 6. Ruble
You bet that the winning 1,2,3 and 4. Your
opponent, respectively, also ruble on 5 and 6.'m
Sure you understand after thousands of tests
that you will be in solid black. Each of the
thousands of games you win on average 667 while
earning 334 rubles. Calculate the odds. The
probability of your winning 4-2 (of 6 numbers, 4
of which provide you the victory). In this case
the payment is still 1:1. Any situation where
the chances of winning exceed payments (2:1>
1:1) will inevitably lead to your victory in the
long run. This principle is the basis for
calculating poker odds. As you probably already
guessed, the concept of pot odds closely related
to the size of the bank and your bids. Indeed,
just as we have said payments coin toss. Each of
the two players put 1 ruble, which formed a
common bank.

To continue playing in the above situation you
need to have a chance to win more than 1:5. How
to count your chances of winning in poker, we
describe in detail in the article " The
probabilities in poker . " All reduced to
counting necessary for you to make a better hand
of cards and determine the probability of
receiving them. A simple way to calculate the
chance of winning is as follows: find the number
of cards that will allow us to improve your hand
and multiply it by two. Get a fairly accurate
percentage of improvement. For example, in our
hands two spades on the flop two more IE we have
a flush draw. If we improve to a flush, the
chance of our victory is huge. So the chances of
winning are determined by the combination of the
probability of getting a flush. Counting cards:
all 13 cards of the same suit, 4 already on the
table, there were 9. Multiply by two, we get 18%
chance of making the flush at the opening of the
next card. This gives us a chance to win
approximately 1:4.5.
